XRP Ledger Counts Down to Major Payments Upgrade Activation

The XRP Ledger is preparing for its next major payments upgrade, known as Batch V1.1, which has entered its two-week activation window.

This critical update will bring a corrected implementation of Batch to the mainnet, and it's currently at 85.71% consensus support, exceeding the required threshold of 80%

The amendment system on the XRP Ledger uses a consensus process to approve changes that affect transaction processing. If an amendment reaches over 80% support for two weeks, it passes and applies permanently to all subsequent ledger versions.

Batch V1.1 is expected to activate no earlier than September 29th at 2:06 PM UTC if support holds above 80%
